I was just thinking about her last week and how she would be so caught up in all this budget mess, sending us text and emails about her feelings,(laughing as I remember how her expressions of her political views got her in so much trouble, but she enjoyed that also).

Tori, enjoy every minute of the trip, reality will hit you when ya’ll return to this heat.

Have a great trip and we need more pics.
(PS, Loved the hat in Lady’s picture)

Glad you and the family are enjoying the Alaskan cruise…..

Oh memories, I too was on the Alaska Homecoming cruise 2 years ago when they did the Alaskan Homecoming taping and it was FREEZING but SOOO worth it. I actually made the cover of one of the DVD’s – yup I have officially “made it” line for autographs will be forming at the left (tee hee).

This was my first time meeting you Tori. We met twice on the cruise (you probably don’t remember). First time Russ insisted that I call you in your room and we met up (you were with Betty – so I had the pleasure of meeting Betty as well). Remember we met just prior to the beginning of the Homecoming taping. I wanted you to autograph “Being Happy”. You also signed Bill’s song “He Touched Me” – too funny!!!

Next time we met was at Russ’ table in the book store and I “talked your feet off”. You were so easy to talk to and very pleasant. Thanks for being kind and spending some time with me.

I remember the cruise as if it were yesterday. It was my very first cruise and I’m so grateful it was a Homecoming cruise, this made the trip even sweeter. Alaska was BREATHTAKING and of course COLD, but hey I’m Canadian so I handled it just fine.

I can understand the memories of Betty that this trip rekindles and I hurt with you. She was an awesome lady.

Please have an awesome time the remainder of your cruise and God willing, see you on the Caribbean Homecoming Cruise in Feb ’12.

Susan

Betty was so determined to go on that cruise, I don’t believe anything could have changed her mind. She even smiled through having to borrow money from you after someone took her pocketbook. As Linda said, she loved you and Russ and the girls…..and we all know that when Betty loved you it was with every part of her great big ‘ole heart. I believe she knew this would be her last chance to go on a cruise and she enjoyed every single minute of it. You and Russ were the icing on the cake.

I have to agree that everywhere you look in Alaska is like looking at postcards. It is an absolutely beautiful place.

I have some friends who are on that cruise…enjoying their honeymoon…they’re like….almost 70!!! Really.

It’s amazing to look at the beauty God has created. I hope you and your family are enjoying your cruise. May it bring peace and joy to you all.

She was so determined to go on that cruise….I think she knew it would be her last opportunity to do so. And God bless you and Russ for making it so enjoyable for her! She loved you folks so much.

You’ve had such a rough year……I hope you enjoy this time away and the serene beauty all around you. It must remind you that though your dad and Betty are gone from this earth, the God who fashioned all that awesome landscape has built a place for them (and us) that far exceeds anything this sin-damaged planet has to offer.

And we love you!
